Question

27. Which are the cell organelles that participate in cell division and in the formation of cillia and flagella of some eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

The organelles that participate in the cell division and in the formation of cilia and flagella of some eukaryotic cells are the centrioles. Some cells have cillia (paramecium, the bronchial ciliated epithelium, etc.) or flagella (flagellate protists, sperm cells, etc.); these cell structures are composed of microtubules originated from the centrioles. Centrioles also make the aster microtubules that are very important for cell division.
